Contents

edit

It includes new content for epic level characters, in the form of extremely powerful, alien monstrosities intent on destroying the world. It is designed as a way of providing game masters a means of ending a current campaign.

The book presents nine “Elder Evils”:

  • Atropus, the World Born Dead (an undead godling in the form of a small moon)
  • Father Llymic, a being of intense power from the Far Realm who escaped the plane of madness to destroy the world but was encased in ice by elven mages
  • The Hulks of Zoretha (five gargantuan statues)
  • The Leviathan (a monster of the deep composed of leftover chaotic energies from creation)
  • Pandorym (an evil force from the places between the planes)
  • Ragnorra, Mother of Monsters (a hideous malformed monstrosity)
  • Sertrous (a vast demonic snake)
  • The Worm that Walks (a 30’ tall giant composed of worms and maggots, and connected with the demi-god Kyuss)
  • Zargon the Returner (a vicious beast crowned with a solitary horn)
